I can’t stand the cold. The bitterness of wind-chill, the obstructionist nature of snow, and the way the winter sucks the happiness out of you like a dementor. I hate it all. Last year, when I went on vacation in Florida, I was so happy for no other reason than I could walk outside and […]

Good news everyone! (Reference to Futurama, in case you’re wondering.) I have been picked to write for the Times Union’s gaming blog, “Press Start!” Don’t worry, I’ll still be posting twice a week for the high school blog.

Congressional approval is at an all time low, mainly because the fact that petty party politics has lead to constant stalemates that do now allow for important legislation to pass. In a time when Americans need action, a bunch of crusty old […]

I am about to get seriously deep and philosophical. If you don’t want your mind blown, go elsewhere. First, lets talk about the past, the present, and the future. The past is any moment that has already happened. The present is the current moment which we are experiencing. The future is the moments we have […]

I am a self confessed nerd. Harry Potter nerd, Marvel nerd, YouTube nerd, etc. Every once and a while, two of my obsessions unite and create a new obsession. Since I am a music nerd and a video game nerd, the hobbies combined to create an intense love for video game music. Most people don’t […]
